    Dr. Lan was instrumental in my recovery from nerve damage to my upper leg last year. This year she helped me recover from a bicep tear and rotator cuff injury which is now completely healed. I've had better results in healing and managing some chronic pain with her acupuncture, cupping, and her team's massage therapy than with physical therapy or western drugs and treatments. She's helped with a number of other issues as well. She is kind, caring and thoughtful in her approach. I can't recommend her highly enough!

    Dr Fengli Lan is an expert healer. She provides a warm environment for relaxation. I’ve come to her with a range of physical and emotional ailments and she addresses each one with kindness and precision. I’m a regular now!

    Excellent, caring, relaxing and wonderful treatment. Feng-li is a very skilled and compassionate doctor; with great results achieved. I highly recommend her and her massage therapist, Luke who ends the treatment.
